A 25-year-old female with a normal menstrual cycle presents for her annual pap smear and breast exam. She has no positive family history of breast cancer. The nurse is counseling the patient on when to do her own breast self-examination (BSE). Which of these should she tell the patient?
She should perform her BSE every month on day 12 to 14 of her menstrual cycle.
She should perform her BSE every month whenever she remembers to do so.
She should perform her BSE every month on day 5 to 7 of her menstrual cycle.
She has no family history of breast cancer, so BSE is not necessary, but she should return for her annual evaluation.
